Slack Reviews

We are using Slack to collaborate between employees, as many of them are working from home. While I personally started using it a couple of years ago, it has been about a month since all of our employees began using it.

Slack allows our employees to share information on a daily basis without overloading email.

This solution is easy to use.

Slack makes it easy for employees to contact each other and exchange documents or information. It is not like a big CRM but for internal usage, it's good enough.

I would like to see a special feature for multiple people to collaborate on a document, working on it at the same time.

For most add-ons, clients need to know the command to run the add-ons. I think it would be useful for them to design the appropriate icons so that non-IT clients can launch them in a simple and easy way. For example, starting a video conference with an already defined room.

It would be useful for an organization to be able to define a specific storage space for the storage of all documents exchanged by teams

I have been using Slack for two years.

This is a stable solution.

We are only using the free version so I do not really know about the scalability.

We have 300 users and daily, there are 60% to 70% of them using it.

I have not needed to contact technical support.

Slack is very easy to set up and there are only a few steps involved.

We deployed this solution ourselves. It was easy to send employees invitations to join.

We use the free version that does not have a license.

We may use Microsoft teams in place of Slack in the future, although this is not a decision that I will be part of. At this time, there is not much interest in moving to Zoom or Teams.

We did not want to spend too much time investigating options before starting our remote work and because I was familiar with Slack, this is what I chose.

My advice for anybody who is researching Slack is that it is easy to set up and quite helpful for daily common things. We use only the free license but it is enough for us. If we continue to use Slack after the current crisis ends then we may buy more features and add-ons. For now, however, we have what we need.

Overall, we are satisfied with Slack.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Slack for having meetings with one of our vendors.

The most valuable features are video conferencing and sharing content during meetings.

I would like the in-meeting content sharing facility to be improved.

We have been using Slack for about one year.

Slack is stable and we haven't had any problems.

We have not had issues with scalability but our audiences in the meetings have not been large.

The technical support is fine.

In addition to Slack, we use Microsoft Teams as well as Skype. I think that all of these products are comparable, with nothing, in particular, that is an advantage or disadvantage.

Overall, Slack meets the needs that we have.

I would rate this solution as average, at five out of ten.

I use Slack to communicate mainly for content related tasks with clients as they find it easy and quick to keep track of all of the on-going projects. Most importantly, it helped me to communicate with other content writers whenever I have to work in a team for a particular content project.

Earlier, while we used to communicate through email, it was good but it became difficult to keep track of all the projects and keep ourselves updated with the latest changes. Since we started using Slack, we have been able to solve each other's problems and identify all of the loopholes within a reasonable timeline.

Slack is a powerpack bundle of features that help small or large organizations to handle teams and their tasks. Personally, I love the feature that gives you the ability to name a channel as per task and include/exclude members within that channel to eradicate all other disturbances.

According to my observation, a large size file sharing feature is what can be expected, which will centralize all activities within Slack and that can save a lot of time.

I would like to see the social sharing of blogs, announcements, or other news directly from the message corner. 

It's our organization's chatroom where workflows and information are passed. We use Slack for communication within teams.

Slack has been very useful in our organization for doing communications and passing on pieces of information.

I really liked the Slack bot and its integration with partners to make the work easy and with proper flow. We can create a group also.

• I think it's the best till now and the Slack team is doing well.
• It will be great if they can start using the offline mode chat. Once we are back online, it will float the messages again.

The product is stable, but you need an online connection.

This product has been doing well until now. 

We were using Google Hangouts before Slack.

The initial setup was very easy.

It was an in-house implementation and easy to set up.

You can have a free trial also for Slack, and its pricing depends on the features and team size you want to go with. The pricing is good, and it's worth it.

We were planning for Skype, Discord and Microsoft Teams.

I mainly use Slack as a collaborative chat, video and audio tool. I am able to set up a Slack room for different purposes and have all major stakeholders collaborate in real time. I enjoy the functionality on Slack that enables my team members to edit and collaborate on documents simultaneously.

Slack has helped to increase the productivity of my teams and organization. We have been able to cut down on subscription costs, reduce client delivery time, troubleshoot more effectively, and achieve positive results more easily. Its intuitive design makes it easy to use and understand, hence we do not have a need to spend much on educating our teams.

Chat, video, and call functionality has been awesome. The ease of setting up and integrating with other apps is seamless. Data consumption by the app is also at its barest minimum, helping to cut costs on the amount of data required to explore calls, video, or chat functionalities within the app.

I think the app is good enough, as I don't have any reason to comment negatively on it. The only area of concern that I have is with the inability to preview received documents without having to download them first. This could offer some sense of security and prevent downloading corrupted files or viruses.A "preview attachment/document" would suffice as an improvement, this will allow users decide if the need to download an attachment or not

With respect to the stability, the app functions well, without glitches.

This is a very scalable solution.

Technical support for this solution has been very helpful.

I did not use another solution prior to this one.

The initial setup is very easy and straightforward.

The vendor handled our implementation and did a professional job.

Our ROI is approximately 40%.

I have evaluated both Microsoft Teams and Skype.

This is a great app that has awesome functionality. A try will definitely be worth it.

We are using Slack for all office internal communications — to create polls, reminders, notifications for builds, etc.

Previously, we were using Skype and HipChat, but the issue was we had bad notifications systems, so that's why we shifted to Slack.

In my opinion, the integrations feature is the most powerful feature because some issues are of immediate priority and we want to get the notification promptly, and through the Jira plug-in, we are getting those.

I think the login feature needs to be improved most because I've been having an issue with logging in to the desktop app for more than six months, but still, it's not been resolved.

I use it every time. For professional and personal use. Their integration is a game changer, and the UX is really great.

• Process made easy
• Collaboration between teams increased
• Productivity is now largely increased: top.

• Integration with Phantombuster, Box, and many many more. 
• Now, teams can do much more and proactively with Slack.

• We can't improve the perfection. 
• The pricing is OK.
• The UX is wonderful.
• They could improve the calling quality.

Overall, it is a good idea as it works better than most solutions out there.

The mobile function is horrible. 

Notifications rarely show up. Either messages will not send or they will send twice.

The mobile app needs improvement. It consistently misses notifications.
